To extend your holiday, why not add a couple of nights on arrival in Bergen – or in Oslo at the end of your holiday, if you are flying via Norway's cosmopolitan capital?

This Holiday in a nutshell

memorable journey across the Arctic Circle

three-night voyage on the coastal steamer past the fjords

experience the magical beauty of the Lofoten Islands

stay in a cosy rorbu

This unforgettable maritime adventure takes you north from Bergen by coastal steamer on the renowned Hurtigruten Journey along Norway’s fjord-indented coastline, one of the last great scheduled coastal voyages in the world.

It was a very special trip... a good combination of different activities and we really enjoyed experiencing life in the Arctic Circle.

Your destination is the astonishing Lofoten Islands, where you may be lucky enough to see the Northern Lights. Approached by boat, the islands seemingly form a wall of jagged peaks that rise sheer from the ocean. Full of contrasts, the islands possess a startling beauty – mountains formed by some of the world’s oldest rocks provide a striking backdrop to sweeping beaches, separated from the coast by just a narrow sliver of farmland. This is a place where you feel blissfully removed from the whirl of modern life, a place to sit back and marvel at Mother Nature.
